It's a new year, a new you and if 2023 is the year you've decided to take on the home de-cluttering challenge, then you might just be looking for some clever storage solutions. Popular retailer, The Range, has highlighted something it claims is a 'must-have home accessory', however, some shoppers aren't convinced and are calling it a 'dangerous' addition to the home.
The Range, which has stores in Nottingham and the surrounding county, is a one-stop shop for everything from shovels to shelves. The home, garden and leisure retailer has more than 180 stores in the UK and Ireland and regularly takes to social media to promote some of its most popular products. However, one of its latest Facebook posts has shoppers divided.
Captioning a picture of a lined stair basket, the retailer wrote: "We can’t stop staring at this beautiful storage... Our NEW IN Stairs Basket is a must-have home accessory for keeping your stairway neat & tidy". The product, which retails at £24.99, is shaped to fit the stairs of your home and is billed as being a "practical and stylish home accessory" that is "ideal for home storage". But some shoppers have claimed it is simply "too dangerous".

Taking to the comment box on the Facebook post, one shopper wrote: "What a silly idea... very dangerous", while another agreed: "Too dangerous imo. Could easily trip over it." And the pair weren't on their own in their opinions. Other social media users added: "Looks untidy and I like clutter free stairs and this can be dangerous. I would eventually be the one to take stuff upstairs". And, "My absolute pet hate. They are not 14 shelves they are a narrow passage to get up and down stairs without tripping over junk".
Others were perplexed by the idea of a stair basket. "What's the point in that...", asked one person, while another added: "Just take it all upstairs".
But, like everything, not everyone agreed. One person declared the product a "game changer", adding, "I need one". Another, tagging in a friend, said: "Good idea for you... save you running up the stairs".
Others joked: "Need 1 of these for every stair", and someone else agreed, tagging in a friend, they asked: "Should we get 12 of these?".
The discussion certainly got people talking. Over 2.6k comments were made on the original post with 1.9k likes and 191 shares. What do you think of the basket, 'game changer' or accident waiting to happen? Let us know in the comments below.
